The “new” Latin American and Asian migration to the southeastern United States is not so new anymore. Our panelists will examine the ways that immigrants from Latin America and Asia have changed southern life over the last thirty years and discuss relations between long-standing African American communities and their new(ish) neighbors. Co-sponsors include the Asian American Studies Program; the Center for Latin American, Caribbean, and Iberian Studies (LACIS); and the Department of Sociology.
Panelists:
Perla Guerrero, associate professor of American studies, University of Maryland
Jennifer Jones, assistant professor of sociology and Latin American & Latino studies
